FAQPage Schema
How do I generate plugin.json and marketplace.json manifests for Claude Code plugins?▼

Plugin manifests define your plugin's metadata, dependencies, and marketplace visibility. This Skill provides ready-to-use templates for plugin.json and marketplace.json that you customize with your plugin's name, version, repository, and component details, then validate for compliance before distribution.

What fields should I include in a plugin manifest?▼

Plugin manifests require core fields like name, version, description, author, and repository URL, plus optional fields for keywords, components, and dependencies. This Skill includes field reference documentation and YAML examples showing which fields are mandatory versus optional for minimal and full plugin configurations.

Can I use these templates for both minimal and full plugin configurations?▼

Yes. The Skill provides separate templates for minimal plugins (core fields only) and full plugins (extended metadata, component discovery, and marketplace inclusion). Choose the template matching your distribution scope, then customize for your specific plugin needs.

How do I prepare my plugin for marketplace distribution?▼

Marketplace distribution requires a validated marketplace.json file with standardized metadata and keywords. This Skill includes marketplace-specific templates and semantic validation to ensure your manifest meets distribution requirements before submission.

What validation does the manifest generation process enforce?▼

The Skill performs semantic validation on manifest structure, enforces required field presence, extracts metadata correctly, and prompts for missing fields interactively. It writes compliant manifests to your plugin root and catches configuration errors before distribution.
